Chapter 71

When Ji Xian arrived at the Third Yin Pavilion, the doors to the great tower were already open and Guo Xinyi was waiting outside.

He nodded at her before walking inside. Compared to the Core Yin Pavilion, the Third Yin Pavilion was just a little smaller but everything else was remarkably similar. The first floor was for meetings, the second floor was for guests, and the third and fourth floors seemed to be for training and cultivation. Ji Xian quickly lost interest after a single glance...

Chapter 70

As the night encroaches on the land, the soft glow of the white moon shined down onto the world.

At the Ardent Yin Sect, the snow continues to heavily fall without any sign of stopping.

Two figures sat on a rooftop of a certain tower silently enjoying this view.

Naturally, they were Ji Xian and Xia Lihua.

Xia Lihua rested her head on Ji Xian’s shoulder as she watched the sky.

“I wonder how the Mortal Haven World is doing right now…” she asked.

Chapter 69

Ji Xian, Xia Lihua, and Xiao Yueyin descended the Core Yin Pavilion. On their way down, they met Guo Xinyi, who have returned after showing Physician Yue Li and the others to their residence.

“Senior Ji Xian, Senior Xia Lihua, Yueyin… huh? Where’s the Sect Master?” Guo Xinyi greeted them before realizing Shao Qinglian was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Yueyin smiled, “Xinyi, you’ve returned.”

“Yes.” Guo Xinyi nodded, “I had to wait until Physician Yue Li and...

Chapter 68

Shao Qinglian momentarily hesitated at Ji Xian’s words.

Her eyes moved to Fang Yu’s frail, motionless body laying on the bed made of ice and the pain in her heart intensified.

“As long as you can heal my Junior Sister then the Ardent Yin Sect will happily give you what you want.” She said strongly declared.

Ji Xian smiled, “Good.”

What he wanted, was obviously access to the library of the Ardent Yin Sect. In truth, Ji Xian didn’t care if Shao Qinglian...

Chapter 67

“Death and decay?” Xiao Yueyin examined Shao Qinglian up and down but no matter how much she looked, there doesn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

“It's subtle.” Ji Xian indifferently said, “It didn’t originate from her but because she has been exposed to it for so long, it has mixed in with her aura.”

Shao Qinglian squinted her eyes at Ji Xian, “You’re correct.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyin finally understood, “The First Yin Pavilion Master....

Chapter 66

Shao Qinglian scanned the group of people in front of her. The presence of Yue Li and the other physicians didn’t surprise her. Due to the circumstance of the First Yin Pavilion Master, it has become a yearly routine for them to show up to provide assistance.

Currently, they were all passionately looking at her body, even Yue Li, although well hidden, a hint of desire can be seen in his eyes.

She indifferently ignored their gazes. She has gotten too used to these kinds of reac...

Chapter 65

"Yueyin, why didn’t you tell me in advance you were coming?"

Guo Xinyi was surprised to see Xiao Yueyin.

Those familiar with her know that she very rarely leaves the Mountain. Other than occasionally needing to head out to do sect missions, she would usually spend her time in seclusion like a hermit.

As Guo Xinyi gleefully walked out of the gate to welcome Xiao Yueyin, she spotted two extremely eye-catching figures. One of them was a kingdom-toppling beauty while the ot...

Chapter 64

The clamor from the crowd escalated upon the verification of Xiao Yueyin’s identity. All eyes moved and focused on her.

Xiao Yueyin didn’t pay any mind to them, she was simply too used to these kinds of scenarios.

But she did turn to Ji Xian and give him an arrogant look that was full of meaning.

Are you seeing this? This is the prestige of the Dragon Saintess! How dare you constantly look down on me. Hmph!

Ji Xian naturally knew what she was thinking....

Chapter 63

The Ardent Region is a realm of bitter cold. As the three of them flew further and further north, there was a noticeable drop in temperature. The bitter wind howled while the heavy snowfall made it harder to see. Just the journey here would’ve been difficult for anyone who came unprepared.

A gigantic iceberg the size of a mountain can be seen in the distance shrouded by a freezing mist. It was situated in the middle of the ocean seemingly isolated from the rest of the world. An entir...

Chapter 62

“Lihua, were we inside a Formatic earlier?” Xiao Yueyin asked while looking back. There were too many things going on earlier so she wasn’t able to get a look at her surroundings, but after flying away, she noticed there was something odd about that place.

“Yes.” Xia Lihua nodded.

Xiao Yueyin frowned, “So there are more out there… wait, I don’t think I saw a Chaos Tunnel back there.”

She looked at Xia Lihua questioningly.

Ji Xian had already sealed it...

Chapter 61

Ji Xian speechlessly looked at Xia Lihua, “You’re one to talk, you grabbed more things than me when we were at.. uh, what was it called.. Rising Wood Sec-?”

“It’s Risen Tower Sect!” She immediately corrected him, “They treated their disciples horribly, pushing them around like slaves. They don’t deserve any sympathy. Besides, those Artifacts and Astral pills were just collecting dust. It’s in better hands with us.”

She continued, “And don’t forget you emp...

Chapter 60

Ji Xian laughed after seeing the scowl on Xiao Yueyin’s face, “You’re still too weak, once you’re at Lihua’s level, then I’ll consider telling you,”

“…”

She unhappily looked at him, not knowing how to respond. At this moment, Xiao Yueyin felt really small. It has been a long time since she felt this way. As an Elder of the Arcane Mountain, she was viewed as an important figure in the Mortal Desolate World. Everywhere where she goes, she was greeted with respe...

Chapter 59

After she passed out, Xiao Yueyin dreamt of a gigantic dragon that overlooks the infinite universes. Its pitch-black scales devoured all colors of cosmic life. A flap of its wings caused solar systems to shift and stars to realign. With a single thought, it jumped from one dimension to the next in a blink of an eye. A swipe of its destructive claws fold the space into itself an impossible number of times.

Its colossal figure struck a chord in her heart. The blood in her body boiled and...

Chapter 58

Combat Hall.

Being the source of where the explosion originated from, the damages here were much worse than anywhere else. Injured disciples can be seen everywhere supporting one another. Fortunately, there weren’t any fatal injuries. To a certain extent, Zongying has already expected this, but she didn’t warn the disciples because she thinks this was in a way also a form of training. As long as no one died, it was fine.

In an area where only the Elders of the Combat Hall st...

Chapter 57

The Ancestor gently coughed after he spoke. The old man’s complexion was pale and his aura was weak. His small body currently looked so frail that a simple gust of the wind might knock him over.

Seeing his condition, a wave of guilt washed over Zongying.

The old man noticed this. With a smile on his face, he tapped her hand a couple of times to reassure her.

“There’s no need to be so hard on yourself all the time.”

The youthful-looking woman sighed before r...

Chapter 56

The eyes of the youthful woman on the jade throne were closed. She gently tapped her temple as she was currently deep in thought.

Are these experts the ones that the Great Ancestor mentioned? But why are there two? The Ancestor only mentioned one…

“Yueyin, this Ji Xian and Xia Lihua, are they the ones who obtained the book from Empress Han Lan?” She opened her eyes and asked.

Zeng Shihao’s eyebrows raised. A look of understanding appeared on his fac...

Chapter 55

“Remember, the engraved runes don’t last forever. You’ll have to occasionally repeat the process.”

Ji Xian explained to Xia Lihua as they flew.

“So this method is flawed?” She asked curiously.

“Yes, but I made it like that on purpose.”

“Why would you do that?”

Ji Xian laughed, ”Take a look at the Heavenly Merit on my body.”

While nodding her head, Xia Lihua’s eyes glowed with silver light as she examined him, but very quickly she r...

Chapter 54

Moments prior.

Ji Xian was standing on a familiar, large, floating platform. Around him, is a scenic view of the sparkling ocean and a clear blue sky that’s occasionally obstructed by tall trees.

A large number of sea beasts rested on the grass and sands of the isle to avoid the sunlight.

Even with the presence of the floating platform in front of them, their behavior indicated nothing was out of the ordinary. They were completely relaxed as they lazily lay with their bell...

Chapter 53

Xiao Yueyin no longer has any reason to stay in Solitude City. With both Ji Xian and Xia Lihua traveling with her back to the Arcane Mountain, she was eager to leave.

Outside the city, the disciples from the Arcane Mountain and Ardent Yin Sect were bidding each other farewell.

After hugging Xiao Yueyin, Guo Xinyi entered her exquisite-looking carriage, as did the rest of her disciples. She gave Ji Xian one final look, a look that was full of meaning. Perhaps it was hope or was it ...

Chapter 52

A few days later.

Since the All Desolate Competition has come to an end, the amount of people in Solitude City has lessened and the excitement has calmed. The majority of the Sects have already left with only a few still staying in the City.

The Arcane Mountain and the Ardent Yin Sect were part of those few.

Inside a restaurant. The two Sects were together.

“Da Mei, I’m getting bored, when are we going back to the Mountain?” A pretty girl wearing a tight purple d...

Chapter 51

Xiao Yueyin returned to Solitude City later that day. She still wasn’t sure what exactly happened in the ocean and unfortunately, she lost the opportunity to ask with all that was going on.

There was only one thing she was certain of, whatever happened involved the Graha race. After disappearing for centuries, they have made an appearance once again.

This was something that she had to report back to the Mountain as soon as possible, and with it being so important, she needed to ...

Chapter 50

“Do you think they will return and wage war?” Xia Lihua asked.

“Uhh…” Ji Xian scratched his cheeks before muttering quietly, “How should I know?” 

He was completely apathetic and didn’t put any thought into it.

She looked at him seriously, “Then what will you do if it does happen?”

“Why should I do anything?” He shook his head. “It’s not our war to begin with. I’m not going to side with the people of Mortal Desolate just because they�...

Chapter 49

On this day, gray clouds cast down upon Mortal Desolate. Rumbling thunders roared from above and the frequent flashes of lightning lit up the dark, gloomy sky. Droplets of water briefly sprinkled from the heavens before heavily showering the land.

The chaos of the storm was accompanied by a sudden explosion that came from the ocean.

Xia Lihua flew out and appeared in the sky.

With the addition of her appearance, it created an odd contrast to the environment.

The howlin...

Chapter 48

Three days later.

Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin stood side by side.

During this time, Xiao Yueyin occasionally left to recover her True Essence before returning. Being this deep in the ocean for such a long period was quite demanding on her body and Essence.

From time to time, she would sneak a peek at Xia Lihua. Seeing that there was little to no difference in her condition left Xiao Yueyin marveling at the difference in their cultivation.

Neither of them had said a word ...

Chapter 47

The horrible shrieking fade away into silence as the two foggy beams disappeared into Yahui’s body. The impact didn’t cause any disturbance in the surrounding.

He visibly shook, his expression unchanged and his eyes were still wide from disbelief.

Ji Xian appeared next to Yahui.

He put his face right in front of him, to the point where their faces were almost touching.

“Hey, you alright?” Ji Xian asked happily, his eyes shining with a subtle clear light.

...

Chapter 46

Hall Master Zeng left the Sect Hall.

Currently, his thick eyebrows are scrunched together as he ignored the disciples greeting him as they passed by.

“Greetings Combat Hall Master Zeng.”

“Greetings Hall Master.”

He walked by without answering them, his thoughts elsewhere.

“Dongwu Sheng…” He muttered under his breath.

Thinking about this person, he gave out a soft snort. Two streams of visible mist shot out of his nostril. It was a small action...

Chapter 45

Silence.

The entire Mortal Desolate World was silent. Back in Solitude City, the All Desolate Competition has been put on hold after what just happened and the Factions were in chaos.

The rainbow light was visible for all to see.

Although the majority of people understood what these seven colored lights represents, they didn’t understand the reason for their appearance.

Those older existences with higher cultivation and knowledge thought beings from the Upper World h...

Chapter 44

“Oh?”

The reaction from Yahui after he was stabbed with the Essence-infused sword caused Ji Xian's eyes to flicker with disappointment.

So they’re still affected by True Essence, huh? How boring, I thought I’ll be able to have some fun.

“You…”

Yahui groaned. He wasn’t injured by the sword that pierced through his stomach, it only left him slightly uncomfortable. But he also knew that his opponent was only holding back, what made him uneas...

Chapter 43

The two men had see-through bodies. In the area where the dantian would be, which would be a few inches below the belly button, was a light hazy fog the size of a fist swirling mysteriously. The fog contains specks of lights that shined like stars.

Ji Xian immediately noticed that the one standing to the right, with the short, spiky hair, had a smaller size fog and fewer specks of lights compared to the one standing to the left.

While their bodies were translucent, their figure ...

Chapter 42

After Ji Xian entered the black spatial door, he immediately felt solid ground beneath his feet. After taking a glance at his surroundings, he realized he was on a large platform that was over three hundred meters long. This area was isolated from the water and yet, he was still able to see outside the formation. He even spotted Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin.

It’s like I’m in a snow globe but only I can see what’s going on outside and others cannot see what’s going on inside...
